Pure Saffron Stigmas from Sardinia

Ruby-red in colour, with a silky consistency, Sardinian Saffron reveals its signature features with an intensity that evokes passion, devotion, vitality and strength.

Sardinian Saffron is especially rich in superior quality elements such as crocin, which gives the stigmas their characteristic colour; picrocrocin, responsible for the characteristic flavour, and safranal, associated with the spice’s typical aromatic properties. These features have earned Sardinian Saffron the European Union’s Protected Denomination of Origin (DOP) quality label.

Sardinian Saffron is an incredibly versatile ally in the kitchen. It gives a delightfully lively, exotic touch to delicious first courses, fine meat or fish main courses or chic desserts. It makes an indispensible Risotto alla Milanese, a mouth watering finish to Sardinian Lorighittas with seafood, and for a truly heavenly dessert, there is nothing quite like Saffron Ice Cream.
